Thanks for that Natterjack, William b 1807 is definitely the same person as my William, my husbands ancestor. I have a medal he won for brewing at Princes End Brewery so there's no doubt there.  I have different parents though, James Whitehouse And Mary Harper. I may have been swayed by research that my father in law did though so I'll look at that further.  It's a long time since I did much research on this.  Would love to hear what information you have.

Thanks for your reply and info!  That's interesting in itself!

I have only just started looking at the North family for my son's in-laws (Norths)  We had a trip to Butterwick etc at the weekend while they were visiting us and when we got back I looked up the family on ancestry - yes I know I should have done that first but I didn't have the information then!

I believe the family we are looking at is, on the 1841 census, David b 1801, his wife Hannah and sons David and John.  I think David may also have been a farmer.  It seems like there should be a link with Thomas - but I have a missing few years at the moment!

Thanks again

Thanks for that....

This is not a relative of mine, but I have something inscribed with her name and a date.  I was curious to know how it came to be in our family, but I suspect the only connection is Kingston upon Hull.

No - I have the information from familyhistoryonline - the transcribed record of marriage in 1836 - no fathers details though.

I wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction to get some information on the birth or baptism of Hannah Finch in Sedgely in 1811?

I know she was married to William Whitehouse in Sedgely in 1836 and I can find her on on subsequent censuses, but can find no record of her birth.

This is particularly frustrating as my husband's middle name is Finch - presumably after her or some other Finch relative!!

Thanks
